One of the most important economic problems in Poland is low fertility, much below the replacement rate. In the next 20-25 years the working to retired ratio will drop significantly. Therefore an important issue is to support female decisions of having second (and subsequent) child. We use sequential logit model to show that different individual characteristics are significant for the decision of first and second child. We show that well educated, white collar workers, who decided to give first birth later are more willing to have more children.
